“Xing Lixuan, what are you saying?” Yu Antong turned to look at him blankly, “You know I didn’t mean that, don’t twist my words.”
Xing Lixuan took a deep breath, realized that he was too sensitive, he lowered his voice and apologized to Yu Antong, “I’m sorry Baby, I said something wrong.”
Yu Antong lost his temper. He turned his back to Xing Lixuan and scoffed, “Your son said he was angry with you, so he doesn’t want to talk to you anymore.”
Xing Lixuan laughed heartily. He put his arms around Yu Antong from behind, stroked his stomach gently, and asked, “What about my son’s father? Is he still willing to talk to me?”
Yu Antong grabbed his slender fingers with distinct joints and played with them, humming, “Your son’s father will be angry with you for another ten minutes.”
Xing Lixuan lowered his head and kissed Yu Antong from behind; from his shoulder blades, to his nape, to the back of his ears. They were fluttering, light pecks, tickling Yu Antong’s body and heart.
He pursed his lips and endured it for a moment, then he couldn’t help giggling. He twisted his body around, trying to avoid Xing Lixuan’s tickling torture while laughing. “You are so annoying, haha, stop kissing!”
Taking advantage of Yu Antong’s squirming body, Xing Lixuan turned him over and laid him flat. Xing Lixuan held Yu Antong’s face, with a warm smile in his focused eyes, and asked in a low voice, “Are you still angry?”
How could Yu Antong be angry when he’s being stared so gently like this? He was soon immersed in the whirlpool of Xing Lixuan’s eyes. He lamented in his heart, ‘Ah, this doggy man is really seducing me!’
Yu Antong put his arms around Xing Lixuan’s neck and pulled him down, kissed him hard for a long time before letting go. “Your son is hungry, he needs his Daddy to get up and give him food.”
Xing Lixuan wisely didn’t mention the food variety show anymore. He planned to talk about it calmly with Yu Antong later.
After breakfast, just as Yu Antong put down his chopsticks, he received a call from Han Lele.
“Hey, Tongtong, are you free?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?” He was beyond idle now. Plus, he heard that there’s something odd in Han Lele’s voice intonation – it was somehow dull, without any hint of his usual cheerfulness. It worried him. He continued to ask, “Did something happen?”
Han Lele replied listlessly, “I’m in a bad mood… Tongtong, can you come out and talk to me?”
“Come to my house,” Yu Antong said, “I’ll make you dessert.”
When you are in a bad mood, food can be a source of comfort.
Half an hour later, Han Lele came to the Xing family’s house, and Yu Antong opened the door for him. After entering the room, Han Lele looked around and asked, “Is your husband home?”
Yu Antong nodded. “He’s in the study on the second floor.”
Xing Lixuan knew that Han Lele would be visiting. He knew that they prefer not to be disturbed while chatting, so he simply went to his study to finish some work. As for his parents, they went out to play early in the morning.
Hearing this, Han Lele really relaxed a lot.
Yu Antong knew about Han Lele’s condition, so he didn’t ask him outrightly. Instead, he asked, “What dessert do you want? Let’s make it together.”
Han Lele sat slumped on the sofa, and replied in a weary voice, “I have no appetite, I don’t want to eat anything.”
Yu Antong pulled him over, so he sat straight. “I want to drink mango with sago pearls, you can make it with me.”
Han Lele got up sadly, and followed him to the kitchen. Yu Antong gave him some easy tasks to divert his attention.
“Do we have to add all this milk?” Han Lele followed Yu Antong’s instructions faithfully. He waited until the sago was cooked until it became translucent, then turned off the fire, and poured milk into it while stirring vigorously.
It has to be said that concentrating on other things can really make him temporarily forget that fucker Qi Jingyao and made him feel better.
Yu Antong checked the pot before giving him further instructions. “Add it all in.”
After a while, the two returned to the living room with a bowl of mango with sago pearls in each hand.
Because the weather was still cold, Yu Antong did not cool the drink, but ate it while it’s still warm. The consistency of the drink is like milk tea, but it has no tea flavor. The aroma is full of the richness of milk, but with a hint of a mango’s sweetness. The diced mango was sweet and firm, contrasting nicely with the bouncy sago pearls. Each slurp was warm and sweet, but it has a slight bite thanks to the mango and sago combo. The flavor, aroma, or texture was in perfect harmony.
Han Lele said he had no appetite at first, but after a bite, he ate the whole bowl with gusto.
He was in a much better mood after finishing the dessert. Once he started talking, there’s no hint of his initial helplessness. “Tongtong, why do you say falling in love is such a torture?”
Han Lele told Yu Antong about what happened between him and Qi Jingyao last night. Qi Jingyao caught up with him and coaxed him for a long time last night. He has been with Qi Jingyao for so long, so of course he knew of Qi Jingyao’s true personality. He logically knew that Qi Jingyao’s initial claim was just a joke.
But Han Lele was still a little wronged. Qi Jingyao was his first boyfriend, so he should just leave him and search for a better one. Still, he really couldn’t bear to break up with Qi Jingyao.
Han Lele was troubled by love. It made his mind gloomy and muddled. “Tongtong, do you think I’m particularly worthless?”
“I understand, you feel aggrieved and disappointed when you feel that your status in your boyfriend’s mind has not met your expectations,” Yu Antong sharply pointed out the problem between Han Lele and Qi Jingyao.
“Yes, yes, that’s it,” Han Lele nodded. He just felt uncomfortable, as if there’s a knot in his heart, clogging up his emotions and logic and tying it up in one jumbled mess. He couldn’t figure out why, but thanks to Yu Antong, he gained clarity of the situation.
He had this thought: on the one hand he was reluctant to part with Qi Jingyao’s kindness to him; but on the other hand he felt that Qi Jingyao was not good enough to him, and wanted more.
Han Lele looked at Yu Antong with wide eyes, hoping that his friend could give him some advice. “Then what should I do?”
Yu Antong and Xing Lixuan have such a good relationship, there must be a way to get along, Han Lele can’t wait to take a small notebook to take notes and listen to the teachings of the emotional mentor Yu Antong.
Yu Antong was a little dazed by Han Lele’s adoring stare. It was also the first time he had a man, okay? He skipped the dating step and got married directly.
Yu Antong could only say: “A relationship is a matter between two people. The most important thing is to communicate. You should tell your boyfriend clearly what you want and let him understand your feelings. It should be much better then.”
“However… I personally think the best way is to make yourself better. Let him see that you’re a pearl he casted aside, so he will chase you and not let you go.”
Han Lele thought of something, and suddenly smiled and said, “Tongtong, let me tell you this: I, a salted fish, suddenly have a fighting spirit. Young Master Yu, I will work hard to improve myself, and blind Qi Jingyao’s eyes with my achievement!”
‘How dare he not cherish me! I will make him regret it!’
“Your boyfriend’s name is Qi Jingyao, right?” Yu Antong suddenly wondered out loud, “Why do I think this name sounds familiar?”
Just now Han Lele didn’t mention his boyfriend’s name at all. So Yu Antong only knew that his boyfriend was Qi Jingyao after listening to him.
Han Lele realized something. “That fucker is always good friends with your husband. You must have heard President Xing mention him.”
After being reminded by Han Lele, Yu Antong immediately remembered – Qi Jingyao was Xing Lixuan’s friend that infamously earned 1 yuan a year with 100 million capital.
Yu Antong thought that Han Lele knew about this, so he told him about this. “Is this true?” Yu Antong actually suspected that Xing Lixuan had made it up to fool him.
“I really didn’t know there was such a thing,” Han Lele laughed hard, “President Xing will definitely not lie to you. It turns out that Qi Jingyao still has such a dark history. When I see him later, I will make fun of him!”
After talking about his boyfriend, Han Lele felt relieved. He was ready to move on to another topic. He asked, “By the way, what do you think about the variety show I mentioned to you? Do you want to participate?”
Yu Antong replied, “Xing Lixuan may disagree, but it doesn’t matter, I can convince him.”
They continued to chat along until it’s dinnertime. Yu Antong graciously invited him for dinner, and Han Lele, who was bewitched thoroughly by Yu Antong’s cooking, did not refuse it one bit.
Yu Antong personally cooked the dinner, and he called Xing Lixuan down to help. Han Lele saw Xing Lixuan’s domestic side for the first time – he was pleasantly surprised that the almighty president was very familiar with home cooking, and he could do all the tasks Yu Antong told him to do.
There was no one else who could turn Young Master Xing into this way except Yu Antong, and Han Lele admired Yu Antong even more.
Han Lele asked, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
Including the Auntie, the kitchen was a bit crowded with four people standing. Yu Antong also didn’t plan to let the guests cook, so he said, “Lele, just wait in the living room for the meal to be served, it will be ready soon.”
Han Lele also felt that with his level of cooking, his “help” would only make the food worse. With self-awareness, he went out obediently.
“Husband, I’ve thought about the food variety show again, and I still want to participate.”
Yu Antong brought up this matter decisively, as he wanted to give Han Lele an answer as soon as possible. After all, the program would not wait for too long, as they had a mountain of things to prepare. So procrastinating was not an option.
“But don’t worry, I will definitely put my health first,” Yu Antong assured him, “Just let me try it. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll quit halfway. I promise.”
Xing Lixuan has seen Yu Antong’s stubborn temper. Despite his peaceful smiling face, he would not compromise on things he had decided.
Xing Lixuan said helplessly, “I really can’t control you. You can do what you want.”
The Auntie brought out the prepared dishes to the dining room. While there was no one else in the kitchen, Yu Antong hugged Xing Lixuan’s waist and acted like a baby.
“Husband is the best, muah muahh~”
Not only did Yu Antong hug him tightly, he also kissed him multiple times.
Auntie didn’t close the kitchen door when she came out, so Han Lele could glance inside. Once he heard something in the kitchen, he inadvertently glanced inside, just in time to see Yu Antong hugging Xing Lixuan and acting like a baby.
With his 20/20 ultra-clear eyesight, Han Lele witnessed all this completely and clearly. His pair of titanium alloy dog eyes were instantly blinded.
Yu Antong and Xing Lixuan were such a loving couple. Despite the cramped place, they could still be this sickly lovey-dovey. Han Lele was so envious of their relationship.
–Also, he didn’t even know that Yu Antong was so good at acting like a baby.
It seems that not only women who can act this way – men can too, and it can achieve the same effect.
Han Lele felt sour, but he also learned something useful today.
The Auntie quickly returned to the kitchen, so Yu Antong let go of Xing Lixuan. The two of them came out with a plate of dishes, saying, “Dinner is served.”
Han Lele secretly sighed in his heart. If his father knew that he was waiting for Xing Lixuan to serve him food, he would definitely be beaten to death.
Now that it was decided that Yu Antong would participate in the variety show, Xing Lixuan naturally wanted to figure out what was going on inside. After the meal, Xing Lixuan seriously asked Han Lele about all the details of the show.
Han Lele felt inexplicably nervous. He felt like he was doing an exam under the teacher’s harsh scrutiny.
Xing Lixuan continued, unknowingly making Han Lele feel even more anxious. “To be more specific, I’d like to ask about the company’s program planner.”
